As the 2010 roster rounds into shape, once Rudy is traded or bought out, it's not that different from last year's openning day roster.
Steve Blake would be replaced by Armon Johnson - giving the Blazers 4 pgs (MIller, Bayless, Mills and Johnson).
Eliott Williams would replace Rudy giving the team 6 pure guards.
Wesley Mathews would take Martell Webster's spot as small forward would can also play guard.
Luke Babbitt would take Travis Outlaw's place as a stretch power forwrd or small forward.
And finally Marcus Camby replaces Juwan Howard as the vet bigman who can play power forwrd or center.
Based on these changes the Blazer's would save payroll compared to last year's roster but loose experience. I think the biggest plus would be that it shortens the rotation with Bayless, Matthews and Camby getting most of the bench minutes with either Pendy or Cunningham maybe getting 3 or 4 minutes per game at power forward depending on the siz of the opponent's forwards.
